49er Express: Calendar: Working with Calendar Events

An event is any scheduled item that you put in your calendar. Your events might include class sessions, tests, conferences, appointments, or office hours. The New Event icon includes many features to make it fast and easy for you to manage events and work with others. Use the New Event features to complete the following tasks:

  • Notify anyone attending your event when you create it.
  • Send automatic reminders before the start of the event.
  • Change an event and send an automatic notification.
  • Set up events to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly in any repeating pattern.
Step 1: Creating a New Event
  1. If you are not already in the Calendar window, click the Calendar icon from the top of your 49er Express page.
  2. Click the Current Calendar drop-down menu and choose the calendar you want to add the new event to.
  3. Click the New Event icon.
Step 2: Date & Time
  1. Type a name for the event in the Title field. NOTE: This illustration shows that we've called ours Learning Calendar.
  2. Type the date, start time, and duration for the event in the Date and Time fields. NOTE: The date is entered in mm/dd/yyyy format.
  3. Click OK. (not illustrated)

NOTE: There is an option to make it an all day or repeating event such as a day off or a class that meets every Mon., Wed., and Fri. at the same time.
